This genus has the metasternum transversely elevated, a character which will distin- 
guish it from the two preceding genera. Fidicina is very largely represented in the 
Neotropical Region; but much synonymy must be worked out, and many species 
described, before we can make any estimate as to the total number of species. Five 
species are here enumerated.

1 have been enabled to compare a typical specimen of F. pertinaz, Stal, with Walker's
